Town Supervisor

At the December 11, 2023 Town Board Meeting the Board unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the Highway Department to move forward with repairs and upgrades to stormwater systems within the Town.  Funding for this project was previously allocated from the American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA).  In 2022 the Town Board allocated $166,216 in ARPA funds for stormwater improvement.  The allocated funding went unspent in 2022 and 2023, as Supervisor Barrett detailed in his press release at the beginning of the 2024 budget process (see attached link).  Additional funding to cover the current cost of the project will be paid for utilizing Highway Department fund balance, which is money allocated by the Towan Board but unspent by the High Department.

Upgrades to the Stormwater systems will occur in the areas of: Damask Drive, Hazeltine Lane and Saint Andrews Drive, Cypress Point, Wooddale Drive, Thoroughbred Way, LaCosta Drive, Woodcliffe Drive, Pepper Hollow Drive, Berkshire Drive and Brookline Drive.

The process of sliplining will be used to make these repairs.  Sliplining is a trenchless underground pipe rehabilitation technique that involves installing a pipe of a slightly smaller diameter into a larger “host” pipe, then grouting the space between the two and sealing the ends. This process is minimally invasive to the surrounding area and can be completed in almost any weather situation.  The Highway Department will be working with Precision Trenchless to complete the project and we expect them to begin as soon as the new pipes have been delivered.
